I watched the beginning of his special - his contrast of Anthony Bourdain and his attorney friend was great.

I also think the drug comparison is fair; sure, "just say no" wasn't focused on any particular race and the big problems in the 1980s were crack and coke, but it's still a good point.

Then Chappelle went into his Michael Jackson bit and I turned off the show. Really? We are going to condone pederasty now? Would he say the same thing about Jerry Sandusky's victims?

I'm all for humor that not only makes us laugh but turns a mirror on us to reveal stupidity and make us think. And words aren't knives. But the MJ bit crossed the line...buh bye.

That was the intention. In fact the whole show was about “crossing the line” and attacking sacred PC cows.

I thought the Michael Jackson bit showcased how Jackson could access young children as if their gold-digging moms are looking to scrape their slice of riches off of a pop superstar at the expense of their children.

Any mother worth her place should NOT be leaving their kids alone with Michael Jackson. Just like you don’t let your young daughter jetset with graying billionaires...unless you care more about sponging some money than you care about your daughter.
